3. 제품 오버view
The MARS 61472 contactor is a robust electrical switching device used to control high-current loads, typically in HVAC, refrigeration, or motor control applications. It operates by using a low-power control signal to switch a higher-power circuit.
3.1. 구성 요소 및 라벨링

그림 1: MARS 61472 Definite Purpose Contactor. This image displays the main body of the contactor, including its three power poles with box lug terminals and dual quick-connect (QC) terminals. The top label clearly indicates the model number "61460" (note: the product is 61472, but the image shows 61460, this is a discrepancy to note), coil voltage "24VAC 50Hz / 24VAC 60Hz", and various electrical ratings such as FLA (Full Load Amps), LRA (Locked Rotor Amps), RES (Resistive Amps), and Horsepower (HP) ratings for 1-phase and 3-phase applications. It also specifies torque requirements for screws (45 Lb-in) and lugs (50 Lb-in), and indicates UL certification for use with Cu 75°C wire.
4. 설정 및 설치
접촉기의 안전하고 안정적인 작동을 위해서는 적절한 설치가 매우 중요합니다.
4.1. 장착
- Mount the contactor on a flat, stable surface using appropriate fasteners through the mounting holes on its base.
- Ensure adequate clearance around the contactor for ventilation and wiring.
4.2. 배선 연결
- 전원 회로 배선: Connect the main power lines to the appropriate power terminals (L1, L2, L3) and the load to the corresponding load terminals (T1, T2, T3). This contactor has 3 poles.
- Coil Circuit Wiring: 제어 볼륨 연결tage (208-240V AC, 50/60Hz) to the coil terminals. Refer to the contactor's label for exact coil voltag사양
- 터미널 유형: This unit features box lug terminals for main power connections and dual quick-connect (QC) terminals per pole for auxiliary connections or control wiring.
- 토크 사양:
- Torque for Screws: 45 Lb-in
- Torque for Lugs: 50 Lb-in
- 와이어 유형: Use copper (Cu) wire rated for 75°C or higher.
- UL 표준: Ensure all wiring and installation practices comply with UL standards and local electrical codes.
5. 작동 원리
The MARS 61472 contactor operates on the principle of electromagnetism. When the specified control voltage (208-240V AC) is applied to the coil terminals, an electromagnetic field is generated. This field pulls an armature, causing the main power contacts to close, thereby allowing current to flow through the connected load. When the control voltage is removed, the electromagnetic field collapses, and springs return the contacts to their open position, interrupting the power to the load.
This definite purpose contactor is specifically designed for applications such as motor starting, heating, and lighting, where the load characteristics are well-defined.
6. 유지관리
Regular inspection and maintenance can extend the lifespan of your contactor and ensure safe operation.
- 전원 차단: Always disconnect all power to the contactor before performing any maintenance.
- 시각적 검사: Periodically inspect the contactor for signs of wear, discoloration, arcing, or loose connections. Check for any foreign objects or debris.
- 단자 견고성: Re-check the tightness of all terminal connections annually, ensuring they meet the specified torque values (45 Lb-in for screws, 50 Lb-in for lugs).
- 접촉 조건: While power is off, visually inspect the main contacts for excessive pitting or erosion. Severely pitted contacts may indicate the need for replacement.
- 청소: Keep the contactor clean and free of dust and moisture. Use a dry, non-conductive brush or compressed air for cleaning.
